Michelle Simonds is a seasoned advisor with over two decades of expertise in individual health insurance, employee benefits and human resources. A Northeastern Pennsylvania native and Penn State University graduate, Michelle's career began in 1994 at a regional insurance agency in North Carolina. She later joined Blue Cross Blue Shield, managing national accounts, before serving as Director of Employee Benefits at a large independent agency in Southwest Florida.
After returning to the Northeast, Michelle continued her work as a client advisor at a local insurance agency. Her extensive experience led her to launch her own insurance agency in 2022. Through The Simonds Group, Michelle focuses on two main areas: helping individuals with personalized insurance solutions, including the Exchange/Marketplace and Medicare, and assisting employers in designing effective employee benefits compensation packages that meet both employee needs and business goals.
Michelle’s passion for healthcare access also led her to lobby in Washington, D.C., advocating for consumers' interests with the National Association of Health Underwriters. Outside of her professional work, Michelle is actively involved in her church and serves as a Board Director for the Greater Valley Chamber of Commerce. In her downtime, she and her husband enjoy Harley Davidson rides with friends and cherish quality time with family.
